Welcome to an opportunity to learn about The Eugene Zitwer
Foundation, a small hands-on public charity that is run by
volunteers for seriously ill children and their families in the New
York area. Our founder, the late Edith Zitwer, had a vision to
reach out to seriously ill children and their families at different
venues throughout the New York area. The charity has a nickname,
The Uncle Yuddy Fund, because during his lifetime Eugene Zitwer was
a universal uncle to all -- everywhere he went and everyone he met
was touched by his strong sense of warmth and concern for others.
His character is the essence of what we have tried to capture in
our work. We promote love and kindness and provide emotional
support to sick children and their families in a variety of ways.

The Eugene Zitwer Foundation, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization
that was formed on March 18, 1991. By providing entertainment, toys
and year end holiday parties to seriously ill children in the New
York area, The Eugene Zitwer Foundation, also known as The Uncle
Yuddy Fund, brings love, laughter and emotional support to these
children and their families. Prior to 2017, the Foundation
refurbished hospital pediatric playrooms, provided funding for
medical procedures, for professionally supervised child-life staff
and extended playroom hours, for holiday programs and for video
libraries and equipment. Since 2017, the charity has focused on
providing programming, toys and entertainment at year-end holiday
parties at local hospitals in Brooklyn and the New York area
including, but not limited to, Bellevue Hospital in New York City,
The Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center in
Brooklyn,The Brooklyn Hospital in Brooklyn, Maimonides Medical
Center in Brooklyn, Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York City,
Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, Bellevue Hospital
Center in New York City, and New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley
Children's Hospital in New York City. The Uncle Yuddy Fund is a
celebration of life and is run solely by volunteers.

Warm regards,
Mary Zitwer Millman
President
